ism that majority should rule. In this
expressed verdict of the sovereign people
ali should acquiesce. No one should vote

1T DEPENDS.

The election of the next president may
depend upon the election Of a congress-
man in Rhode Island next Tuesday. II
happens this way In case no candidate
for president should receive a majority OF
the votes IN the electoral college, then It
becomes the duty of the lower house OF
congress to elect the president. In taking
the vote in the house, each state 10 entitled
to one vote to be determined by snajori-
ty of congressman from such state. Now,
Il will require the vote Of twenty states to
elect The republicans have majority
Of the delegations in nineteen states, and
the democrats seventeen and tie in New
Hampshire, with vacancy in Rhode Is
land. If the republicans elect their man
in Rhode Island next Tuesday, they viii
then control twenty states--just enough to
elect. There Is still another contingency
that of two contests from two California
the contestants both being dem
ocrats If they should both succeed In
getting seats, then neither party would
control majority of the states.

Some time ago Z. ]. SommervilIe, Of
Pendleton, shipped car load Of wheat to
Portland and paid the charges. Believing
tac freight charges too high, he appealed
to the State Railroad commissioners, who
decided the rates were unreasonable, and,
based upon their findings in the case, the
commission at once instituted suit in the
State Circuit Court to compel reduction
of freights. The railroad demurred on
the ground that the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute cause of
action, that the court had no jurisdiction,
and that the commission had not capacity
to sue. Judge WaIker,(by the way Linn
county boy,) oyerruled the demurrer on
each point The road can now appeal from
this decision, pr it can answer the COM
plant and try the case on its merits. The
Easf Oyegoriew says Judge Walker advan-
ces sound and sufficient reasons for the
conclusions which he arrives.
